Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly advertises an “asta immobiliare” and describes a building connected to an agricultural activity, triggering a veto regardless of the apparent €306/m² price versus the €317/m² baseline. The property is therefore unsuitable for this catalog’s standard livable-home deal scoring.
More on the house and the area
This is a large roofed agricultural building with open surrounding land, but it has no visible residential character or attractive setting. The interiors are unfinished and used for storage, with no bathroom or kitchen, so despite the stated “habitable” condition it is not realistically a move-in home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €36,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Photos show an agricultural/industrial shed rather than a villa or home.
- No bathroom, kitchen, finished living spaces, or residential interiors are visible.
- The listing is an auction property, so legal status and permitted residential use require careful verification.
- The roof and walls appear functional but interiors need major conversion work to become livable.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
